Unfortunately when a car will not start, that usually means that something has failed. Most commonly the fuel pump or crank sensor.

In terms of things you can try:

1) a second key

2) locking and unlocking the car a few times using the mecahnical key in the driver's door

3) a jump start

4) checking ALL fuses (starting with the fuel pump fuse, #54)

5) unhooking the battery for 20min to reset everything

6) replacement fuel pump relay (requires full removal of the glove box to access as well as a replacement relay, is the top left relay)

7) bang on fuel tank to see if fuel pump will start working

8) wait a while for the temperature to change and hope the issue rectifies itself

spraying starter fluid into the intake while cranking would help to isolate if it is a fuel issue or spark issue, but in your situation it isn't likely to be of much help

In all honesty these are long shots. The car will likely need to be towed for diagnostics and parts replacement to get it operational again. As I said, when a car won't start, it is usually due to component failure.

Remember, a low rating PUNISHES me for my honesty - thanks.

Hi again,

Please don't forget to select a positive rating so that I receive credit for my answer. Thank you in advance.

It could be that the in tank transfer pump is not functioning to move fuel from one side to the other

it could be that there is an issue with the fuel guage displaying incorrectly

it could be that there is an issue with the main fuel pump pick up

or, it could be an intermittent failure of the crank sensor or fuel pump

there isn't much else that is common that comes to mind that would / could cause this

I would everything inside the fuel pump checked out (pump, transfer pump, level sensor).

Ultimately you may need to replicate the no start concern at a time when diagnostics can be carried out. Or equip yourself to carry out diagnostics.
